Footballing Recognition
Judd's has been praised by AFL journalists and past players, in addition to formal awards he has received.
| “ | I'm continually amazed the way he plays his game... You hear him interviewed and you think what an unbelievably together, mature, young guy he is. He's a fantastic guy to have. | ” |
|
—Leigh Matthews, VFL/AFL Player of the Century |
||
| “ | He is the hardest opponent I've ever played on. I remember watching him when he first burst on to the scene, I actually would look at him as someone I wanted to base my game around. His speed, his accuracy with his skills, his contested football. It's just fantastic. | ” |
|
—Adam Goodes, Dual Brownlow Medallist |
||
| “ | I played with magnificent players. Nicholls, Doull, Jesaulenko, but Judd is by far the best I've ever seen. He is just so consistently good, week after week - the way he's going he will win another Brownlow. | ” |
|
—Ted Hopkins, 1970 Carlton premiership player, speaking in May 2011 |
||
| “ | It is almost super human, the way that he shrugs tackles and wins clearances and shimmies and shakes and sets up scoring opportunities and his consistency. | ” |
|
—Peter Bell, Former Fremantle Captain, |
||
| “ | He is a magnificent footballer, an all-time great, yet there is now a but next to his name. He is no longer just Judd the Brownlow medallist. He is a Brownlow medallist, but also a player with a dark element to his name... Judd is not a dirty player. He is mysterious and eccentric. The dark knight. | ” |
|
—Mark Robinson, Herald Sun football writer, in response to Judd's chicken wing tackle in 2012 |
